Yamaha YSV104 Red Silent Violin Electric Violin

General

For the Yamaha YSV-104, Yamaha returned to the original concept of the silent violin. This solid-body violin is perfect for rehearsals but can be used for live performances as well and comes equipped with what the brand has dubbed SRT Powered Technology to mimic the characteristic sound and resonance of an actual acoustic model. Using the included control box, you can select one of two types of reverb - room and hall - and there's an AUX input for external media playback so you can play along with any song or backing track.

The YSV104: Easy Switching

Because the Yamaha YSV-104 has a traditional design, the bridge, tailpiece, neck and other components are the same as those of an acoustic violin. This makes it a lot easier for acoustic players to switch over to a silent violin, and vice versa. The angle of the bow and the fingering is also similar, making this Yamaha model a great tool for beginners to further hone their skills. Finally, the the YSV-104 comes pre-strung with D'Addarios Zyex synthetic violin strings which provide stable, rich and balanced sound.
